This one's been around, but it's still funny:
A wealthy man decided to go on a safari in Africa. He
took his faithful pet dog along for company. One day
the dog starts chasing butterflies and before long he
discovers that he is lost. So, wandering about he notices
a leopard heading rapidly in his direction with the obvious
intention of having lunch.
The dog thinks, "Boyo, I'm in deep doo-doo now." (He
was an Irish setter).... Then he noticed some bones on
the ground close by, and immediately settles down to
chew on the bones with his back to the approaching cat.
Just as the leopard is about to leap, the dog exclaims
loudly, "Man, that was one delicious leopard. I wonder
if there are any more around here?"
Hearing this the leopard halts his attack in mid stride,
as a look of terror comes over him, and slinks away into
the trees. "Whew", says the leopard. "That was close.
That dog nearly had me."
Meanwhile, a monkey who had been watching the whole
scene from a nearby tree, figures he can put this knowledge
to good use and trade it for protection from the leopard. So,
off he goes. But the dog saw him heading after the leopard
with great speed, and figured that something must be up.
The monkey soon catches up with the leopard, spills the
beans and strikes a deal for himself with the leopard. The
cat is furious at being made a fool of and says, "Here monkey,
hop on my back and see what's going to happen to that
conniving canine."
Now the dog sees the leopard coming with the monkey on
his back, and thinks," What am I going to do now?" But
instead of running, the dog sits down with his back to his
attackers pretending he hasn't seen them yet. And just
when they get close enough to hear, the dog says, "Where's
that monkey. I just can never trust him. I sent him off half an
hour ago to bring me another leopard, and he's still not back!!"
